Question 1 of 5
Following hospitalization for congestive heart failure, a client is discharged. The nurse teaching the family suggests they encourage the client to rest frequently in which of the following positions?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is High Fowler's. Sitting in a chair or resting in a bed in the high Fowler's position helps decrease the cardiac workload and facilitates breathing in clients with congestive heart failure. This position helps reduce venous return and increases lung expansion, improving oxygenation. The supine position (choice
B) may lead to increased pressure on the heart and lungs, making it less suitable for these clients. The left lateral position (choice
C) is not as effective as High Fowler's in reducing cardiac workload and improving breathing. Low Fowler's position (choice
D) does not provide the same benefits as the High Fowler's position for clients with congestive heart failure.
